Loose bumpers on playfield

[Renvil]

Hey everyone

I’ve searched the board and can’t find a solution for this...

So this weekend I did an LED replacement on my machine. That has been a fun little job with no hiccups and the machine looks great now!

There are a couple of the small static bumpers with a single screw in them that are loose. There will not tighten at all. If I take them out there is just sawdust on the screw.

Question is, what would you do to solve this, is there anything you could put in the hole that would solidify up to screw back into?

Any ideas would be great!

Thanks all and happy Easter.

Just some woodglue and a matchstick in the hole, break off the matchstick and let dry. Good to go in a few hours.

A bamboo skewer works better than a matchstick

ive seen gripfill injected into the hole and then screw inserted before,not sure how long it lasts mind

Many people don't have matchsticks these days so try using a coffee stirrer stick like these
